Hello everybody,
I am new to the forum as well new to the axolotl care, having my axie for about three moths now, however can't tell his/her age, since it was a present. Glad to be part of the community.
So I am posting some pictures of my setup, not great quality, however it will be easier to see what I am asking/talking about.
The tank is 30 liters volume, 50/30/20 (length/height/width), in the beginning I had some coral sand on the bottom of the tank, but my axie was digging into it, maybe looking for food, so I decided to change it with some bigger river stones which were carefully cleaned. That's where my mistake was, because he did eat some of them, even though they were quite big. Immediately I removed all of them, and fortunately he (or she, cannot tell if male or female) did poo them .
Now the setup contains only few very large river rocks, a dragon stone on which I have attached anubias, a driftwood (mopani), which also has attached anubias and some java moss, a ball of moss, his/her feeding cup, something like a cave (the brown thing), small filter in order not to make big water flow and aeration stone which is working daytime.
Here is the time to ask if all these things are acceptable for the axie (he/she looks to be fine, swimming over and hiding), should I remove any of these?
As the tank is bare bottom, excluding the rocks, should I add some sand or gravel?
Should I add anything else in the tank, which may be good for my axie?
I feed him with frozen bloodworm cubes, live earthworms and salmon pellets, feeding him/her once a day around 7 p.m. Is this a good food variety and should I include anything else in his/her menu?
Any other suggestions and remarks will be very much appreciated in order to build a better place as much as possible :happy:
Thanks ,
Kris
